Projects include large, public, transportation (transit, highway, airport) underground and infrastructure programs which can be expensive (multi-billion US$), and which can extend over a long time (10-15 years). These projects must satisfy conflicting political, financial, technical, managerial and administrative requirements - sometimes in a restrictive legal, media-intense, bureaucratic environment. Therefore, it is essential to strategically and systematically build clear management and organizational plans which include community and stakeholder involvement, with organizational alignment and clear performance measures - "what gets measured gets done".  Strategic Management plans increase efficiency in project planning and procurement in order to meet critical performance, quality, schedule and cost goals. Using "aligned" procedures - which can include, partnering, alliancing, teamwork, risk mitigation and disputes review - saves time and money and reduces the chance of claims and litigation.
